Neutral revs?

[V10SpeedLuvr]

When I'm parked and talking to people, one of the most frequent requests I get is "will you rev it up?" I know not to do anything stupid like hit the rev limiter, but how high can I safely rev without risking potential damage?

I'll give it usually 3-4K...

I go to 5. I figure if the engine can't take a little neutral revving, then it's not as "bulletproof" as everyone says it is.

Anything under 6200 rpm should suffice, however, I rarely will go to over three thousand. Reving my engine for others enjoyment is not my cup of tea.

did a search found this and was wondering the original question....is revving in neutral up to 5500 bad for it? I know I have done it when I pulled up to a friends house instead of a doorbell

Poeple have asked me to rev my engine, and it's my cup of tea. In fact, it makes my day!

Rev Away, to redline if you want. Provided the oil is warm. But a quick burst to 4k oughtta impress. I usually ask for fuel donations or tire donations depending on the requestor.....

(Think about this: is it 'easier' on the motor when its DRIVING at redline pulling 3300 lbs?)

I'll sometimes rev up till my little yellow light comes on.

I can't tell you how many times I bounced off the rev limiter (usually on the track though). An aluminum flywheel makes her wind up noticably quicker, and sounds better with the Belanger headers & catbacks and the Randomtech cats

Haha your not the only one who asks for donations...California gas is expensive!

 

[FATHERFORD]

As long as the engine is warm.

Ditch the cats...it will sound even better...louder...but better.



I just give it a quick rev to 5k. That's enough for (and these are things I've seen happen) A woman to drop a compact, kids, dogs and cats to run away, my wife to scream, Grown men smile, Corvette owner to turn pale....and last but not least...


...a really hot ******* girl ask for my number....shame I'm faithful.

Depends on if she's going to show me her TA-TA'S whether we do anthing at all.

3" in and 3" out Randomtechs passed Cali smog

 

[Burntrubber]

i go in the 3-4k range, sounds better than all the up to 5500rpm.

Just don't do it when the engine os cold, as long as it idles for atleast 2 minutes your good!

A$$ Grass or Cash nobody rides for free.

That's what I figured, but I have heard different things... thanks guys. Now I just have to wait till spring to rev in my new found confidence
